Shia Muslim scholarship often posits that this selection by God illustrates a broader theological principle: the idea that divine truths manifest in ordinary contexts. The nativity scene in Bethlehem encapsulates the fusion of the humble with the extraordinary, mirroring the tenets of humility and service espoused by both Jesus (a) and the Imams (a).
Prophet Jesus (a) in the Qur’an
The Qur’an features numerous references that affirm the status of Jesus (a), a pivotal figure recognized for his role in the divine narrative. In Shia teachings, several verses illuminate Jesus (a) as a messenger who not only performed miracles but spoke profoundly of mercy and compassion. The Qur’an refers to him as ‘Kalimatullah’ (Word of God), emphasizing his unique creation and purpose. Such titles afford him a central place in Islamic eschatology and soteriology.
